Normalt før en krig forventer vi at eliten målrettet forsøker å bygge støtte i befolkningen og internasjonalt, ved å legitimere hvorfor det er nødvendig. Se Bush og Iraks masseødeleggelsesvåpen, eller Putin og ideen om at Ukraina aldri har eksistert. Trump får begge til å virke som poeter..

Den eneste personen som per nå sitter i fengsel for Epstein-sakene er fortsatt mektig nok til å hestehandle åpent med USAs president om en benådning, mot at hun vitner i hans favør. Presidenten har ikke utelukket det.

The male genius myth is harmful to everyone. As a Nordic female academic, I was shocked by the culture when I was a visiting scholar at Harvard. It is so much better to be a female professor in the Nordics!

Norway is good at getting medals at the winter olympics and at befriending Epstein …

Precarious positions? Gender, quotas and the politics of (re)appointment How does judicial constraints impact the decision-making of female and male judges, and female judges appointed under a quota? I argue that the gender-based selection bias female judges face during t...

Sharing my latest working paper where I investigate the effect of being appointed under a gender quota on judicial behaviour. Are female judges appointed under a quota in more precarious positions, and as a result are they more loyal towards their appointing authority? Find out: tinyurl.com/548n33kn

(+) Asle Tojes dommedags­profeti har ingen støtte i forskningen på samfunnskollaps Det er grunnleggende menneskelig å bekymre seg for at ens barndomskultur er i endring, men å omtale slike endringer som «sivilisasjonskollaps» er ikke seriøs samfunnsanalyse.

«Hvis det finnes et historisk mønster som sier noe om sammenhengen mellom multikultur, liberalisme og sosialt, økonomisk og politisk fremskritt, er det det helt motsatte av den nasjonalkonservative dommedagsprofetien.» www.morgenbladet.no/ideer/asle-t...

“Is the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social a social court protecting the ‘have nots’ or an economic court beholden to the ‘haves’?” @silje-hermansen.bsky.social, @louisabo.bsky.social & I have an answer on @verfassungsblog.de. This holiday season, our analysis give us reason to be biased for hope:

quote: “Across thousands of cases argued before the Court, individuals who claim individual rights win systematically more often than more resourceful clients – including businesses that tend to show up with better lawyers.”

Is the ECJ a plaything of the powerful — or a protector of the weak?

New litigation data suggests a clear answer.

TOMMASO PAVONE, SILJE SYNNØVE LYDER HERMANSEN & LOUISA BOULAZIZ show how the Court levels the odds for individual rights claimants.

Trump smiling wearing a medal, standing next to the FIFA “Peace” Prize, a golden trophy of a globe being reached for by what look like four severed hands.

FIFA: We are so corrupt! Who could possibly be more corrupt than us?

Trump: Hold my beer.
